Ukraine restructures military as Zaluzhnyi dismisses NATO prospects and Russia advances aerial tactics

Ukraine's military is undergoing structural changes following the appointment of commander Mychajlo Drapatyj, who is working to reform internal command practices. Meanwhile, former top commander and current ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, claimed Ukraine "will never join" NATO, arguing that the alliance relies on outdated warfare strategies unsuited for modern conflicts.

Domestically, the Security Service of Ukraine reported disrupting dozens of Russian assassination plots targeting military personnel via online dating applications and fake invitations. On the battlefield, defense analysts warn of a difficult winter as Russian forces ramp up aerial attacks using jet-powered drones and accelerate the production of ballistic missiles beyond previous estimates.
